Pope Leo XIV made his way across Rome on Monday to the Verano Cemetery, where he celebrated Mass for the Commemoration of All Souls’ Day. In his homily, the Holy Father noted the connection with the Solemnity of All Saints, observed on November 1, which he described as giving “direction to our prayer.” God’s “fatherly and steadfast hands hold them for eternity,” he continued, “so that they may fully enjoy that vital, mutual belonging which the Lord promises to His people.”
